Holy Cow! What a day....

I live in a small community in Southern Indiana. We don't even have a Wal-Mart, just a Dollar Store and a Pamida. The closest Wal-Mart is 13 miles away, and it's not a super store. The closest super Wal-Mart is 22 miles away. I like to shop the Pamida whenever I can. They will honor any ad I bring in to the store so I can get some good deals there and I am shopping locally. I used to work at Wal-Mart. One day when they checked my drawer as I was getting off work it was $20 off. They sent me to sporting goods to dust shelves for an hour while they rechecked the drawer and wouldn't let me leave the store to go home. The lady in the back kept coming up short, but finally a manager recounted and it came out right as two new bills were stuck together. They had someone watching me the entire time I dusted. When they finally told me I could go home I gave them my two weeks notice before I left. I never allowed any of my children to work at Wal-Mart. Sandy

That sounds crazy! No phones that can call out? why don't they just install phone booths?

Good Heavens Sandy! That is just horrible. As a teenager, I use to work as a cashier for pocket money. Many a day our tills did not balance and were out with a rand or two, but they made allowance for that. If it happened on a regular basis they would deduct it from your salary, but you definitely were not made to feel like a criminal! Negligent at the worst. I would not even shop there again if I were you.

Yes, that's slightly more disgusting than seeing employees wash their hands and then pull on the same door handle to get out as those who don't!

I think in this day and age of cell phones public phones are going by the way side and sounds like work phones are too.

Ah thanks Lynne! I was looking for the word "public phone" and could only come up with "phone booths". Yes, sometimes technology can be a step backwards instead of forwards, I guess :)
